"Wow! What a great book! I spent the weekend blowing off friends at the movies so I could finish reading it. Your book is well organized and clear with lots of good advice and examples to help the lay person (me) begin to see how it might be possible to navigate my way through this process without indebting myself or my son beyond all hope. What I found most powerful about both the book and the seminar, was the sense of hope both provided."

Thinking like a CFOYour household is a mini-business. You have income that comes in, expenses that go out, while seeking a high ROI (return on investment) on your assets. Fortune 500 companies have CFO's to help them run efficiently. You need to think and plan as the CFO of your household. College is too large of an investment/expense to not take a step back and formulate an efficient game plan.

How you pay for college will impact your retirement. Remember: you can borrow for college but you cannot borrow for retirement!
